Fusionist[edit]
Through the power of magic (and superglue) you can fuse multiple gems into one.
- Fuse
You have 1 fusion slot (this increases the level after your gemslot does, 2 at 5, 3 at 8, etc.). You can select 2 gemstones and spend 1 hour (can be during a short or long rest) to fuse them into one. You can only fuse a number of gems equal to your fusion slots, out of each fused pair only 1 gem is counted for gem slots. All gem synergies must occur in a fused set (For example if you had fused a quartz and a ruby you couldn't treat a jade as valid for a synergy with the quartz and ruby). You can break a bond over 30 minutes during a rest. When you activate 1 bonded gem you can activate the lowest activation tier of the other gem, if you have enough charges left over.
- Improved sealant (Probably Sovereign Glue)
Well you somehow made the magic bond more powerful, now your gems can be sealed in trios or pairs. Mechanically identical to as before. Trios take 2 fusion slots.
- Okay This has to be Sovereign Glue
You can use 3 Fusion slots to seal 4 gems together. This process takes 2 hours but can be interrupted
Gem-Blade[edit]
All the combat synergies, stab, stab, & stab some more s'mores.
- Jade Blades
Tier 1 Jade now makes a Shortsword instead of a Dagger Tier 2 Jade now makes a Rapier or Longsword instead of a Shortsword Tier 3 Jade now makes any Melee Martial Weapon instead of a Longsword
- Ruby Rage
